The winner was announced at June’s SIMS meetup where Konjo Photography owner Donna Reid was in the audience to accept her prize.

More than 100 applications were received and Sam Parnell from Measured Brilliance thanked all applicants, “We really appreciate the time these small
businesses have taken, we know they are all very busy. Ipswich Borough Council have once again provided an amazing opportunity for these businesses to grow and it’s great to see so many entrants from forward-looking businesses.”
